Camp Discovery Friends and Family

The American Academy of Dermatology’s Camp Discovery gives children with chronic skin conditions a life-changing summer camp experience. Each year nearly 360 campers benefit from Camp Discovery at no cost to their families. The Academy covers the $1,800 cost for each child who attends Camp, with the help of donations from AAD members and other generous supporters.

You probably already know what a transformational experience Camp Discovery is for its campers. There is a spirit of camaraderie and genuine acceptance at camp that many children with chronic skin disorders simply do not experience in their daily lives.

"My daughter, Paige, gets so much out of Camp Discovery. I wanted Paige to know it’s important to give back. By joining the Camp Discovery Friends and Family fundraising campaign, we’re a part of making sure other kids get to experience camp."
